Chapter 053: Perception
Li Wenxuan's above words were not deliberately unconventional, but a true portrayal of himself at this time. Although he has a reputation for showing talent, he did not pass the exam himself. The previous host of this body has repeatedly failed to pass the exam, so he has no play, after all, the knowledge he has learned is incompatible with the theory of the Four Books and Five Classics.
In fact, Li Wenxuan was still very fortunate to be able to take advantage of the previous host of this body. It's not that he only "covets" and "occupies" this piece of family property and the cute, well-behaved, diligent and virtuous Zhao Tianer in the family, but he understands that this talent and fame are not so easy to test casually. It is precisely because of the fame of this talent that he appeared in the county hall for the first time, and was looked down upon by Liu Wenjing, otherwise he was just a grass man, and he deserved to be killed.
Li Wenxuan is not unaware that writing this poem by himself will make people feel that he is unambitious and unmotivated. I don't mind this, after all, things are done, not spoken. If you succeed, you are nothing, and if you fail, you are nothing. For this, he can be said to be like a mirror.
Although Li Wenxuan seemed a little disappointed and uncomfortable about today's occasion, he did not object to the talents who were obsessed with the career economy. To a certain extent, I am still very advocatory, after all, if you want to get ahead in this era, the only shortcut from the lower class to the upper class is to study to the death, and to achieve it by participating in the imperial examination.
Otherwise, those wise people who are born into ordinary families will never have a bright future. If they do not have the means to realize their ambitions and ideals, then there will be potential instability, after all, the whole system of human society, no matter what era it develops, is formulated by intelligent people.
Thinking of Li Wenxuan here, he clearly remembered that Yang Guang, the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, mentioned in his childhood memory, was an indispensable faint monarch and tyrant, but it was such a person who invented the imperial examination system. He used it for pleasure to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which connects the north and south waterways, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the future 21st century.
As for the several wars against Goguryeo that he waged with all his military force, which led to the great peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the later fall of the Sui Dynasty. However, the establishment of the subsequent successor Li Tang, after the efforts of three generations of kings, finally completely eliminated this henchman who had a direct threat to the Central Plains civilization in the hands of Li Zhi, Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
The relationship between Goguryeo and the Central Plains Dynasty was like that between Rome and Carthage. After all, in this area, there can only be one big country and a strong country, and this is a true portrayal of one mountain and no two tigers. In Li Wenxuan's view, the reason why Emperor Yang of Sui ended up in disgrace in history was that he failed. If he succeeds, there should be one more eloquent monarch in history.
Li Wenxuan also remembered that Jia Baoyu in the later "Dream of Red Mansions" was extremely disgusted with this imperial examination system, but it did not affect his opinion in the slightest. After all, Jia Baoyu was born in an aristocratic family and is the most favored son-in-law, so if the Jia family is not defeated, he can live a very nourishing life for the rest of his life. Those low-level scholars do not have the same background and background as Jia Baoyu, and it is not wrong for them to want to change their situation and fate through their own efforts.
Li Wenxuan, who was in silence, soon thought of the "experts" who one-sidedly refuted how bad the imperial examination system was in later generations, and couldn't help but scoff at it, after all, under the circumstances at that time, this method of selecting talents was the most advanced and scientific. If the imperial examination system is blindly denied, then the civil service examination in later generations will also be denied by other "experts" at some point in the future.
Since we could not think of a better and more effective method than this, it was the best choice to echo the productive forces and production relations at that time, after all, we had to come up with a relatively fair method of selecting talents. The reason why the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was able to flourish was that it was inevitable, and this was also inseparable from the great importance that the rulers of the Ming Dynasty attached to the imperial examination and the strictness of the imperial examination method.
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi ......" Lin Ruoxi, who called Li Wenxuan several times, noticed the distraction in his eyes.
Li Wenxuan, who was called by her, retracted his thoughts, and said without sarcasm in his smile: "Let Miss Lin and everyone laugh." I really don't have a career in the next place, I just want to be happy. ”
The talents who knew him at the scene once again exchanged their heads and ears. They unanimously believed that Li Wenxuan had begun to give up on himself and become disheartened because he had failed many township exams. Since he has repeatedly expressed this negative attitude, then as his classmates, it is not good for them to say anything more, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.
Seeing this situation, Li Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his predecessor's life and communication were really enough failures, after all, there was not even a person who stood up and said something about the scene and pretended to regret it. If you don't have it, it's not a good thing, then you can re-establish a network that only belongs to him without caring about who your ex is friends with.
In Lin Ruoxi's eyes, Li Wenxuan is indeed an alternative. With a faint smile, she took his masterpiece from Qiu Yue's hand, looked at it carefully and said again: "I don't know if the concubine is lucky enough to be able to get this poem you wrote?" ”
"Since Miss Lin doesn't dislike the clumsy work below, then I'll give it to you." Li Wenxuan felt that what he had written down was not something extraordinary, so he pushed the boat down the river.
Lin Ruoxi, who folded the rice paper in her hand with her own hands, smiled slightly again: "The concubine has thanked Li Gongzi here." ”
Li Wenxuan, who felt that his continued stay here would only be an eyesore, did not answer with her back and forth, but found a reason to say: "In half an hour, a furnace of elixir in the poor road will be refined." Therefore, I will not bother you here, Yaxing will take his leave. ”
Lin Ruoxi, who didn't keep him, just turned his head slightly to the side and said, "Qiuyue, send Li Gongzi out of Lu on my behalf." ”
After a "yes" in the autumn moon, he led Li Wenxuan out of the private room until he was sent out of the door of the Invitation Moon Tower.
Li Wenxuan, who arched his hand, said politely before leaving: "There is Miss Lao Qiuyue." ”
Qiu Yue, who glanced back, didn't see anyone coming out, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Li, my young lady is very blue-eyed to you." ”
I really didn't notice that Lin Ruoxi had a good impression of Li Wenxuan, but I just felt that the conversation between the two was very polite. Even if she asked for her own poems, it really didn't mean anything. He decided it was like sending in a resume. The person who took it always politely took it, and it is unknown whether it was thrown into the trash or the toilet.
Li Wenxuan, whose face was as usual, did not become inexplicably excited, but calmly diverted the topic and said: "If Miss Qiuyue is free, she can come to the cold house at any time to sit. My sweetheart is about the same age as you, so I think you can be good friends who talk about everything. ”
Qiu Yue, who was happy, was the first time to get such a formal invitation from him, and said with a smile: "Well, I will definitely come." At that point, if I bother you too much, don't bother me. ”
Li Wenxuan's good impression of her far exceeds that of Lin Ruoxi. I have always felt that Qiuyue, a little girl, is very lively and sunny. He smiled and said, "No." After speaking, he said goodbye, and Qiu Yue also gave him a blessing gift.
Li Wenxuan, who had left the Invitation Moon Tower, walked out a short distance, and stretched out his arms for a long time. I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed than before. He really didn't have much feeling about Lin Ruoxi's poetry meeting. At this time, Li Wenxuan didn't think about what Qiu Yuegang had said to him that her young lady had a good impression of him, but then thought about whether the fairy sister in his heart would really be a very vulgar woman. Thinking about it all the way, he unconsciously walked to the gate of his house.
Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang, who were standing on the top of the steps, had both excitement and blame in their voices, and said in unison: "I'm back." ”
Li Wenxuan, who was "received" by them at such a high level, heard that the tone of the two was different from usual, so that he suddenly couldn't figure out the situation a little, and said blankly: "This is my home, I don't go back here, is there any other place to go?" ”
Su Meiniang, who didn't hide anything, said straightly: "Hey, didn't Miss Lin specially invite you to go to a meeting?" She's so stingy that she won't even arrange a meal for you? ”
Li Wenxuan, who heard that she was smelling vinegar and sourness, looked at Zhao Tian'er who was standing next to her. Although the little girl didn't speak again, the look on her face had already told her the answer. Actually, she didn't want to come out, but she couldn't screw it and was dragged out by Su Meiniang.
"I missed you, so I came back early." Li Wenxuan followed Su Meiniang's words and walked down the aisle.
Su Meiniang, who was not afraid of being in broad daylight or in full view, walked down the steps with small steps, grabbed his left arm, and said with a sweet smile: "I know that you have a conscience." ”
Li Wenxuan, who was gradually accustomed to her way of behaving, did not break free of her hands holding him, and said calmly: "Since you know that I have a conscience, what delicious dishes are you going to make at noon today to treat me?" ”
Su Meiniang stretched out her slender right index finger and tapped the corner of his mouth, and said a pun with a charming smile: "I know that you are greedy, so I have prepared your favorite boiled fish for you a long time ago." ”
Li Wenxuan, who could hear the meaning of her words, looked at her, then looked at Zhao Tian'er on the front, and replied with a smile: "Your boiled fish is too spicy, I'm afraid it will hurt my stomach if I eat it for a long time." It is still green vegetable tofu that suits my appetite the most, and I will never get tired of eating it. ”
